Caretos at Podence, Macedo de Cavaleiros

 My cousin Isabel spent the first half of her vacation in Podence, from where she brought me this postcard.

Praia da Vieira, Vieira de Leiria

 Last Tuesday I went with my family to see the fantastic Iron Maiden concert in Lisbon, and on the way back we stopped at Praia da Vieira. Even I, who am not a big fan of beaches, enjoyed it!

Rijomax, Tabuaço

 I was unaware of the existence of this clock in Tabuaço, but it is one of the city's great attractions.




Tabuaço Church

 About two weeks ago I went for the second time to the fair of Sweet Rice at Vila da Rua and this time we stopped in Tabuaço.

Vila Real de Santo António Lighthouse

 We also did not visit Vila Real de Santo António.




Ferragudo

 We weren't in Ferragudo, but I saw this postcard in Albufeira and I liked it.




Albufeira

 The tranquility seen in this postcard was something I didn't find; instead, there were way too many tourists, many of them drunk. And it's not even summer yet.





Albufeira

 Last weekend, my son had a competition in Albufeira, so we went to watch him compete.

 This postcard was sent by Martinha, who is also the author of the photo!

Vila Real

We stopped on the way in Vila Real for lunch




Provesende

We stayed in the parish of Provesende, which I had never heard of, but which is very pleasant and picturesque




House of Ferdinand Magellan, Sabrosa

Sabrosa is where Fernão de Magalhães was allegedly born, but it is not consensual
